Lovely lake hotel
The beds were comfortable, the window opened, we had a nice lake view. The bathroom was spacious. The hotel was full, but we were not bothered by noise.

Great hotel but better parking needed.
Our stay was great overall. Upon arrival we were told there was no parking available and had to use public parking down the street, which on such a busy street it is hard to get into hotel and out. The beds were comfty and the room had everything we needed. Our room had a great view.
